I haven't tried it, but went through the free basics Ad comments on facebook and found a noticeable number of users complaining about Facebook bila images and slow internet. I think it goes with the line 'beggars cant be choosers' free may mean poor standards. Facebook also doesn't allow any content in the free basic platform. This means they will have the power to pick winners and losers in the local internet markets without fair competition.
